  • I wanted to love this event. Especially since my friend and I decided to get the full chocolate experience and purchase the VIP tickets. For $75 we didn't know what to expect, but we expected our experience to be at least double what those who purchased general admission received. Not quite. When we arrived we received a wrist band that gave us access to the VIP lounge where there were supposed to be savory "heavy" appetizers. While the cheese plates were beautiful, the cheese was very standard, lots of yellow and white cubes, and the occasional wedge of brie. There were 2-3 other bite sized apps, but we were left underwhelmed. Not to worry though...we didn't come there for the apps anyway, we came for the CHOCOLATE! Well...that's when it all went awry. There were lines. Not just a few. There were lines everywhere. And they were long, and they didn't move. As we looked over the balcony we could see huge crowds in the grand lobby so we opted to get in line on the 3rd floor. After 45 minutes, we made it to the chocolate beer station and picked up one biscotti from Enrico Biscotti. While the biscotti was delicious, 45 minutes is a little crazy. We ended up passing up the chocolate beer and grabbed a toothpick with a delicious bite from Senti before making our way down to the second floor. This is when it all went from bad to worse. We waited in line for another hour. This time for a few chocolate truffles and a shot of wigle whiskey. By this time everyone around us was so equally frustrated it wasn't even fun anymore. With about 20 minutes to spare we made our way down to the grand lobby and thank goodness for Cioppinos and the Milkshake Factory!! These people were running a well oiled machine and pumping out hearty portions of flourless chocolate cake, milkshakes, and chocolate candy by the bowlful. And the line was only about 10 minutes. Several of the other stations by other restaurants were already empty by the time we made it out of the lines, so I cannot comment on what I missed...but for a $75 ticket it was a definite disappointment that I spent 75% of my time standing in line. I hope if this event continues next year they either restrict the ticket sales, or move to a different venue that can accommodate such a big crowd.
